I remember this! I have relatives who live on Whidbey Island and they were telling me how many people were actually rooting for this young man. A true survivor who dared the odds to fly indeed. May he soar on the wings he was meant for! Thank you for bringing his powerful story here.
He is reportedly focused on his passion for aviation, intending to design and build airplanes and having been mentored by a Boeing executive while incarcerated.
Rea, your story shows Colton’s dream to fly is admirable, even in the middle of struggle… and you captured it beautifully 💛🌌🎶
He was courageous, Celia. If not for his dreams, who knows what would've happened to him.
Yes, Rea… he truly was. His courage and his dreams kept him going ✨
An incredible story. Challenge and courage are the essence of this writing. I love it.
Thank you, Jybyky.

Now I must read more about him...great poem!
You will love his story, Jen. Thank you!
A humbling poem. It really touched me. Yes undeniably he did wrong but what an amazing mind.
He went for it with his all. Thank you, Brenda.
A beautiful dream. Well done.
I agree, Stephanie!
Tragic
No! He went on to great things. Someone realized his potential and gave him a chance.
